Brock Lesnar had a lawyer in Manitoba plead guilty on his behalf for a hunting infraction he was charged with in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada stemming from an incident that occurred back in December, 2010.
Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers charged Lesnar and his guide, Chad Styker with three counts each of contravening the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Act, including improper affixation of tags, spoilage of skin and edible flesh and possession of a controlled animal. (“What, this officer? No, it’s just a deer mask I wear when I hunt to fool the little buggers.”)
Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers charged Lesnar and his guide, Chad Styker with three counts each of contravening the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Act, including improper affixation of tags, spoilage of skin and edible flesh and possession of a controlled animal. (“What, this officer? No, it’s just a deer mask I wear when I hunt to fool the little buggers.”)
His case was originally to be put over until January 19, on the advice of his council, who pointed out that video and photographic evidence of his wrongdoing was on YouTube and various MMA websites, the former UFC heavyweight fighter chose to take his lumps today in court by accepting whatever sanctions the judge handed him. He was found guilty of improperly tagging of an animal and all of the other charges against him were dropped.
The court handed Brock a $1,725 CDN fine and banned him from hunting in and accepting shoddy medical care in the province for six months.
According to evidence, Lesnar was on a guided hunting trip last fall when he killed a trophy buck. Rather than taking the kill with them, his party opted to just cut the head off of the mule deer and leave the remaining carcass to rot.
In an unrelated story, Lesnar’s upcoming UFC 141 opponent Alistair Overeem got the shock of his life this morning when he woke up with a rotting mule buck head in his bed at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas.

(Hopefully the meter maid didn’t give Spencer that shiner.)
UFC lightweight Spencer Fisher was arrested in Bettendorf, Iowa on Tuesday for "interfering with an official act," which could mean anything from tearing up a parking ticket a meter maid was writing him to refusing to allow animal control to take his dog that had gotten loose from his yard.
He was released on $300 bond on his own recognizance.
Here’s the section of the Iowa criminal code that deals with the misdemeanor charge:
IOWA CODE 1999 719.1 Interference with Official Acts. 1. A person who … who knowingly resists or obstructs the service or execution by any authorized person of any civil or criminal process or order of any court, commits a serious misdemeanor. … 3. The terms “resist” and “obstruct,” as used in this section, do not include verbal harassment unless the verbal harassment is accompanied by a present ability and apparent intention to execute a verbal threat physically.
